What we do

ConCap was formed in 2008 by Stuart Hillston, after he left EIS Fund Manager Pre-X Capital Management. The Company was formed to help technology companies and their owners to develop and articulate a commercial strategy that would appeal to investors – whether private or professional.

Since then the climate for investment in start-ups, pre-revenue and pre-profit technology businesses has grown steadily worse, making it more important than ever to be able to express the investment case for your business. We believe that there are 6 essential aspects to your plans that will help an investor determine very quickly whether or not they wish to devote time to your opportunity. By understanding and presenting these aspects in the right well, you will significantly improve your investability.

Raising equity finance for early-stage companies requires 4 things:

Your business strategy to turn a technology product into a scalable business must be compelling

You must present it to the right investors…

… at the right time

… and in the right way

We work to help early-stage (typically pre-revenue) technology companies find investment and grow. We have helped clients from a diverse range of sectors including:

Medical devices

Software

Web-based services

Nano-technology

Engineering

Mobile media

Oilfield services

Financial technology

Diagnostics

Clean energy

Energy saving

If you wish to build and grow a technology company we can help:

Strategy – determine what you want to achieve and how you will do so

Commercialisation – an effective sales strategy, and the team to implement it, will make you more attractive to investors

Funding – whether debt or equity, we can help you manage the process and find investors

Post-funding – managing the expectations of your investors and effectively communicating with them
